They look like early compressed video" screens. Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jls=runbox.com@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jls=runbox.com@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Ernest Nitka Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2004 9:01 AM To: 'Leica Group' Users Subject: [Leica] Thoughts on the Leica D2 and computer magazines My take on the D2 is that if it weren't for the EVF I'd be very interested in it. The EVF has this annoying lag in displaying movement - it could actually produce vertigo. If it only had a much simpler approximating VF like on most zoom p and s I'd be happier. Much of my disappointment comes from the fact that i come from a traditional film background and the way in which I use the camera is semi- fixed in stone - I can't see myself holding the D2 1/2 an arm's length away and looking at my subject thru the larger LCD - not going to happen. The computer magazines are simply that - magazines that hype each new introduction - just like the photo mags do - 'never saw a camera they didn't like'. One really has to scratch the surface to see if the camera is for you. Many of the forums including this one will reveal that there are some who find the camera wanting. It's just a matter of whether the faults are important for your way of shooting. right now i'm shooting MP and my canon elph digital and this is really a decent combo. ernie _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
